A Tyrone GA youth pastor was arrested by Peachtree City police on Wednesday after making arrangements on the Internet to meet what he thought was a 14-year-old girl for sex.

Pastor Robert Kyle Amerson of the Abundant Life Worship Center in Tyrone was arrested at his home in Fairburn by Peachtree City police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Officials at the church had no comment on Wednesday afternoon for 11Alive News.

Amerson is being held in the Fayette County Jail, and will make his first court appearance on Thursday afternoon.

From Amerson's introduction on the Adundant Life Worship Center website:

Hobbies: Hanging with my wife, Anything sports related, Golf,drawing, cars...

Why do you do what you do? I do it because I have been given a passion to see young people's lives changed, in spiritual and personal ways, and I
think that is why God put me here.
